If you truly love your puppy you will do everything humanly possible to make sure that they are well provided for. We will buy special food for them, soft cushy beds for them to sleep on, and get up at two in the morning to let them out.  One of the most important things to remember is that they are dependent on us for many things.
 
One of the most important ways that you can protect not only your puppy – but many others is to spay or neuter them. Many owners forget this one detail and a few months to years later they are greeted with a surprise when they realize that their dog has puppies.
 
The biggest reason that vets and shelters stress this for your pup is to prevent the potential children from becoming euthanized. Did you know that if an animal that has been left off the shelter for a certain amount of time is not adopted then they will be put down. None of us want to see a defenseless animal hurt like this.
 
But over 3 million dogs and cats are being euthanized in shelters every year because owners are not responsible enough to spay or neuter them. These shelters just do not have enough space for them. Those who are able to give the litter away are still taking up space in homes that cats and dogs in shelters need to go to.
 
If your male dog is not fixed and makes puppies with a stray female dog than the result is devastating. These homeless animals survive off of food from the trash cans and will defecate all over neighborhoods, parks, and other public areas that could spread diseases. They also will often attack anyone who comes near them.
 
When you <a href="http://carefordogs.wikispaces.com/Important+Reasons+To+N ... or neuter your dog</a> you are not only saving the lives of their puppies – but you are also making your life a whole lot easier. Once the operation is complete your animal will not be as hostile and your female dog will not become over active when she is trying to mate.
